  1. [quote name='chris_b' post='1153533' date='Mar 8 2011, 10:46 AM']If space is an issue it's the Mods problem not ours![/quote] I think there is some confusion here. We do not delete posts upon request unless a thread has been majorly hijacked by people. One that is several weeks/months old wouldn't be touched. Also, there is no space issue to be worried about. Threads and posts take up miniscule amounts of disk space compared to one image attachment (we have plenty of disk space anyway).
  2. [quote name='Beedster' post='1153499' date='Mar 8 2011, 10:26 AM']Increasingly sellers are deleting their posts or asking mods to do so at the completion of a deal.[/quote] I don't think i've had any of these requests. Even if we did, we would ignore them and simply edit the post to SOLD. I agree that leaving history is beneficial, however we cannot prevent users from editing their posts afterwards to remove 'useful' information.
  3. Ibanez EDA905. Wanted one for my 21st (had been playing about 1 year), tried one in a shop and it felt cheap (was £500). The tone was not good (brittle) and I was very deflated... bought a Yamaha RBX instead.
  4. I've got shorter hair now...
  5. [quote name='NJE' post='647312' date='Nov 6 2009, 03:21 PM']I love this bass so much, I can understand why so many people sing their praises now.[/quote] Now it's all mine, muahahahaha !
  6. Agreed on a fair price. A few years ago you'd have been wanting a bit more but Warwicks have awful resale value.
  7. New prices are going up (increased costs) and 2nd hand are coming down (lack of demand), can't be good for the market.
  8. Not sure how many they expect to sell at that price. I saw some at Birmingham Guitar Show and didn't understand where that price came from at all. The quality looks like it's there but putting out a new model at such a high price seems wrong without having a budget model available too. Ibanez might make some good top end stuff, but I don't think it'll sell at all.
  9. [quote name='munkonthehill' post='1151254' date='Mar 6 2011, 10:47 AM']I know theres forum rules about talking about a seller asking price, however I dont care and must say that this is the bargain of the century.[/quote] Yeah you're right, but for once the comments are commending the seller !
  10. I think prices are poor for 'common' stuff but anything rare or in demand should fare better .
  11. Can't wait to try a few at the London Bass Show..
  12. Looks good. Nice to see something a little less familiar too !
  13. I'm not too bothered, didn't make a special journey, just noticed a shop next door to the Subway (food, not subterranea) i'd emerged from and popped in .
  14. Went into a shop today - they only had a Gold Top and red Strat though .
  15. I think I need to try one out, they look interesting.
  16. 3 out of 4 bands I left never met up again afterwards. Not sure if that's something to be proud of or not !
  17. Just wait till he wants to get rid of the drummer .
  18. Had it out yet ? When I got my Stingray delivered to work a few years ago I was having a noodle in the office. Couldn't do it where I am now though, a much bigger and stricter place .
  19. [quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1148117' date='Mar 3 2011, 10:34 AM']Its definitely worth learning to do a good basic setup. Especially if you have basses where the neck shifts at the onset of Summer & winter.[/quote] I find I give all of my instruments a setup twice a year for this reason. The difference is significant..
  20. I expect if you emailed Ashdown nicely they'd send you some for free.
  21. I had a 614 and you're right with the preamp. Go passive ! Definitely same pickups.
  22. Get a grip Dan you'll be fine .
  23. My first bass was a red Squier Bronco from Express Music in Shirley, Solihull. It cost me £120. I started playing as I already played guitar, but heard parts to songs on bass and wanted to play those too. If anything - the bass solo on Metallica's Cunning Stunts made me buy one.
  24. Did you make this ?
